What is the disconnect between "Western" and "Eastern" philosophies? Why is Western philosophy predominately discussed here over Eastern philosophies? Is it solely because must of the people visiting this born were born in and live in Western countries?

What is it about East Asain and Middle Eastern philosophy that's unappealing to Western thinkers? Idk if Africans have philosophy, but if they do, the question also applies to them.

So Alan Rickman died, but I remember him from Galaxy Quest and not Harry Potter.

I never read Harry Potter, even though it was a thing growing up during my time. It felt childish, but I grew up reading The Dark Tower, and some other strange series.

I feel I know the answer to this, but, is Harry Potter worth a read? Is it interesting? Or gay wiccan heathenism?

It's one of the better childrens series (how should that be phrased?) out there.

Bloom thinks it's trash -- if he took a second look at it, now that the hype's died down, I'm sure he'd see the books as being decent. His statement that they condition young readers to get into digesting trash is false: I quickly advanced from Harry Potter to Oliver Twist.

If you're a teen or adult, there's much better light reads out there, of course. Not all the fiction you read has to be literature, but you should make some attempt.

I agree with this guy. I read HP when I was a kid/teen and I liked it, as far as books aimed at young people go it's good, but not the best out there. I'm not sure if its appeal holds up to older audiences too, especially if you're accustomed to more literary fiction. You can give it a try, but if you're over 20 and going into Philosopher's Stone now I don't think you'll care much for it.

greece under rome Anonymous 2016-01-20 07:42:26 Post No. 7604928 [Report] [View this topic]

Question about greece and the greeks under roman rule.

After the macedonian wars and the roman conquest of greece, am i wrong for stating that the greeks seemed to have gotten used to the romans and in general, didnt mind being under roman rule? Am i wrong?

Did they resent the romans? Were there major revolts in greece 50, 100, 200 years after the conquest? I dont think ive read about any.

Did they just not mind the romans as much? "These guys are similar to us, they admire us and have adopted many things from our culture, why not just get along?". Was that the case?

Pretty much asking about the relationship between rome and roman controlled greece in general, and the average greek during the peroid. If a greek travelled west, would he have found rome and other cities quite different from his native greece? Were there any roman practices or aspects of roman culture that greeks always found "weird"?

Thanks in advance.

>A thick slurry of lava ran from its severed iron arteries, sheared by towering spires of burning rock, in heavy cascades that bled over warped struts of metal and stone.

Does this sentence make sense? I'm trying to say the iron is cut in two, and not the lava. Despite being okay at writing, I guess, I feel like I'm really bad with proper grammar sometimes. I'd appreciate if anyone could pass along some resources.

There are your two halves, the clearly defined subject and then the pointless wank after it.
